The need for multi-gigabit speeds is gaining momentum as operators look to move beyond providing sustained average bandwidth toward differentiated services that can handle peak and peak traffic demands and deliver a superior customer experience. End users are also increasingly seeking high-speed upstream and downstream connectivity for real-time access to the cloud, gaming, remote work, and Wi-Fi 7. With 10G+ connectivity, games can be downloaded in minutes instead of an hour at 1-Gigabit speeds, data and cloud applications can be accessed instantly, and efficient Wi-Fi 7 backhaul is possible.
“We are helping operators deliver unbeatable multigigabit experiences today with our new 25G PON solution. It combines speed, scale, and efficiency, giving service providers an effective path to new revenue streams without having to rethink their entire network,” said Geert Heyninck, general manager of broadband networks at Nokia.
“The ability to cost-effectively scale multi-gigabit and true 10 Gbps services across their entire residential subscriber base is critical for service providers in increasingly competitive broadband markets. The ability to deliver the highest speeds and handle peak traffic demands with the lowest latency and jitter is what will allow providers to stand out from the crowd and keep their subscribers satisfied,” said Jeff Heynen, vice president of broadband access and home networks at Dell’Oro Group.
Expanding Nokia’s comprehensive 25G PON product portfolio, the new line cards can be combined with Nokia fiber modems to provide a complete, cost-effective, and future-proof solution for mass-market 25G residential and enterprise PON deployments. Currently, 20 operators, including Google Fiber and Hong Kong Broadband, are using Nokia’s 25G PON technology to meet the demand for faster broadband speeds.
“Fiber is a strategic asset that ensures our network can scale and adapt to evolving customer needs. The ability to seamlessly upgrade from GPON to XGS-PON and now to 25G PON, along with our unique coexistence technology, reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve. 25G PON technology strengthens our competitive position, enabling us to deliver high-speed, future-proof connectivity to businesses and a growing residential customer base that increasingly relies on fast, reliable broadband for cloud services, gaming, and immersive digital experiences,” said Veronica Bloodworth, Executive Vice President and Chief Network Officer at Frontier.
